Gullwing and Back Chop

[Hotsauce]

Looks like an X1/9, but wothout the toaster slots on the back.

That would be totally fun to try with the $2k VX in the other thread

I cut the back off an S-10 blazer once and learned an awful lot about body work. It's a lot harder than it looks, that's for sure. The door would be tricky to do well.

The door mod would help solve the "I need to sell the VX for something more practical" excuse you see all the time on the for sale forums.

It's funny you guys are mentioning that. I'm searching for a nice cheap VX to just chop the top off like the VX-O2.

Yes on the door mod. With the split at the cladding & gullwing'ed it would be a cool street truck, a bit hard to get into a lifted VX that way though. Without the split and regular swing it would be, as Trathlete said, a nice access mod for the rear.

No on the rear chop. I too think it makes it look Amigo-ish. If you cut the back so it could be removed and replaced at will that might be a go.

IMO, Amigoish isn't a bad thing...I've painted out my rear pillars with black semi-gloss to diminish what I consider to be an "overly bulky" looking rear of the VX.



I always liked the lines of the Amigo.

Given the money (and a savegame incase I wanted to reload and go back), I would love to do this....
